Low Vewings?

I just want to ask if anyone knows if the 2 million viewers count is including the people who watch it on hulu or other online sources. I personally don't have a T.V so I watch all my shows online including dollhouse. Is this whay all my shows are being canceled cause no one watches them on TV and where do they get these numbers?

That 2 million is just US viewers who watched it on TV when it aired initially. They later also count who watched it off their DVR within one week of the airing and adjust the number to reflect that; online viewings are not counted as a part of the current TV ratings system. Dollhouse actually does get a pretty good bump from the DVR numbers (which I guess isn't surprising since it is stuck airing on Friday nights...) - which is a big reason why FOX gave it the surprise second season in the first place - but this time around, since the live numbers keep decreasing, it's really looking like a goner.
